Chapter 120 Prince's Mansion

Xiaokui and Xue'er instantly admired Shu Qing. The eldest lady of their family is so powerful that she was able to get money from the old lady. They heard that Shu Yiyan was the most powerful person who got money from the old lady in the past, but It was only 20 taels, and there would be nothing more. Usually, most of the rewards given to Shu Yiyan were cakes, cloth and clothes.

"The old lady is really too generous. The slaves really want to know why the old lady gave the young lady so much money."

Both Xue'er and Xiaokui pestered Shu Qing curiously for an answer.

After Shu Qing told Xiaokui and Xue'er what had happened, they were pissed off by Shu An's shamelessness, and asked anxiously:
"Miss, you don't really want to give the old lady the money for selling paintings and clothes?"

Shu Qing nodded:
"Of course, since I said it, it should be done."

Xiaokui and Xue'er were completely dumbfounded by Shu Qing's words, isn't the eldest lady always shrewd, why this time...

But before they asked, Shu Qing continued:
"However... I said that if I have spare money, I will give it to my grandmother, but whether I have spare money or not is not up to me."

"Pfft."

There was an unrestrained laughter. Xiaokui and Xue'er wanted to laugh at first, but they were taken aback by the laughter coming from nowhere.

Shu Qing also sensitively discovered that the laughter was not from Xue'er and Xiaokui at all, but from the lush sycamore tree...

There is a rockery and plane trees and maple trees outside Shu Qing's yard, and they happened to pass under the plane trees at this time.

Subconsciously looking up, among the densely covered sycamore leaves, a hooded man in black was standing upright with a smile in his eyes.

"Ah, there are assassins!"

Xiaokui called out first.

When the man in black saw this figure, he left the spot, and at this moment, Li Qing was flying out from another courtyard.

Shu Qing took a look, wasn't that the Lihe courtyard? It was the courtyard where the fifth aunt lived.

Li Qing glanced around, but found no suspicious movements, and asked, "Miss, where is the assassin?"

Neither Xiaokui nor Xue'er could see exactly where the assassin left from, but Shu Qing, who had become more perceptive recently, knew that the assassin first entered the empty courtyard, and then went west a few times.

Shu Qing said to Li Qing:

"There's no need to chase, but I need you to be more vigilant tonight, the assassin may come tonight."

Neither Xiaokui nor Xue'er knew about Shu Qing's assassination by the assassin. Hearing Shu Qing's calm tone, they immediately realized that it was definitely not the first time Shu Qing had seen the assassin. They were so worried that they couldn't even eat dinner.

After dinner, the second housekeeper came to the yard.

What Shu Qing asked Xue'er to do was to 'unintentionally' let Ning know that Wang Shun saw the princess killing Chunmei, and then find the second housekeeper.

She only knew about the second housekeeper's ability after Shunzi's death in the last life. In the previous life, Shu Yidong fell ill suddenly, so many people speculated that Shu Yidong couldn't get sick because of the matter of Shu Muchen, so many people began to suppress Shu Yidong. The foundation of the prime minister's mansion was almost shaken, but soon it was reported that Shu Yidong fell ill not because he was worried about Shu Muchen, but because of excessive indulgence. Being laughed at.

On the third day, Shu Yidong took Shunzi to Jingzhao Mansion to plead guilty, and rescued Shu Muchen. After Shunzi died, the second housekeeper and Xi Niang were unhappy, and later they simply took revenge on Shu Yidong, and even sent many important items in the mansion They were all secretly messed up, and many books were falsified, and the big housekeeper didn't see it at all. The most important thing is that the second housekeeper followed Shu Yidong when he was a fifth-rank official. Naturally, he knew many unknown things about Shu Yidong.

The second housekeeper wanted to bring down Shu Yidong, but because he didn't find the right person, he gave all the evidence of the crime to the officials who had taken refuge in Shu Yidong. In the end, instead of bringing Shu Yidong down, he lost his own life.

In the new life, since Shu Qing knew that Shu Yidong was not her biological father, she would naturally not let go of trying to win over the second housekeeper. After all, even if she didn't take the initiative to find trouble, she would definitely guard against Shu Yidong. It would be fine if Shu Yidong didn't mess with her, really. If you annoy her, don't blame her for being too ruthless.

The second housekeeper knelt on the ground as soon as he arrived, and said bluntly:
"Miss, if you save the old slave's son from death, the old slave will only follow the lead of the young lady in the future, and will have no second thoughts."

Shu Qing likes dealing with smart people the most, especially smart people who are loyal to her.

She said politely:

"Second steward, please, he is not at fault for Shunzi's matter. Although it is difficult to save him, I can guarantee that Shunzi will not be in danger of life, and I only need the second steward to do one thing. I can't tell you the matter now, but I can guarantee that the lives of the second steward's family will not be endangered."

When Xueer came to look for the second housekeeper, she said that she had trouble finding Shu Qing. The second housekeeper thought that he would do his best to serve Shu Qing, but he didn't expect that he only needed to do one thing for Shu Qing. But, and it will not endanger the lives of their family, which is really a pleasant surprise to the second housekeeper.

And Shu Qing's words not only dispelled the second housekeeper's last worry, but also made the second housekeeper feel that it was a good decision to follow Shu Qing.

Immediately after the second housekeeper left, Xi Niang consulted with Xi Niang. When Xi Niang learned about Shu Qing's character, the two hit it off and decided on the future path. Later, Shu Qing escaped the mansion many times with the help of the second housekeeper and Xi Niang For some people's purpose, the Second Steward and Xi Niang are reused for this purpose, and after they get married, everyone in the mansion will manage them submissively.

In the middle of the night, Shu Qing had been waiting for the assassin to come, who knew that he didn't come after waiting all night, and Shu Qing didn't sleep much all night.

When I woke up the next day, fortunately, there were no dark circles under my eyes. After Shu Qing practiced and took a bath, he went to greet Ann and came back. Breakfast was already served on the table. Shu Qing soon understood the rich meal on the table.

Xiaokui, Xue'er and the others were very happy, because not only Shu Qing's food improved, but the food of these maids also improved.

After Shu Qing finished her breakfast, she asked Xiaokui to go to work, and she took Xue'er to the Prince's Mansion.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she went to the Prince's Mansion after her rebirth.

After getting off the carriage, she came to the majestic Prince's Mansion. Shu Qing was a little dazed. This Prince's Mansion was her prison after getting married. Her love for Gong Wushang from the beginning to her final despair was the first time she entered the Prince's Mansion. Every time was worn out, even life.

In fact, Shu Qing was very resistant to the Prince's Mansion. He hesitated because after getting off the carriage, she actually had the urge to turn around and leave immediately.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Xue'er felt very strange, not only was there no excitement at the house of the eldest lady's fiancé, but her face turned pale as soon as she got out of the carriage, which was so strange.

Xue'er's voice brought Shu Qing back to her senses. She shook her head and shook off the despair of her previous life. She will not repeat the same mistakes in this life. She will break off her engagement with Gong Wushang and find someone else to live a good life. Resolutely don't pursue everything that doesn't belong to you like in the last life.

Shu Qing and Xue'er went up the steps, but were stopped by two guards at the gate:
"Who's here?"

Xueer stood up and said politely:

"Brother, please go in and let me know that the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion is here to visit."

The two tall and burly guards looked at each other with contempt in their eyes, and said directly:
"I'm sorry, there is no greeting card, and our Crown Prince will not meet guests."

Xue'er could tell that these two guards had already guessed Shu Qing's identity, but they still said that on purpose, because they didn't take Shu Qing seriously at all. You know, Shu Qing will be the crown princess in the future. It's really hateful to make things difficult for Shu Qing in front of her face.

The expression on Xueer's face is very ugly, but she is not Xiaokui, even if she is angry again, she will not show it easily, she held back her anger and said politely again:
"Our young lady is the fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince, so I would like to ask my younger brother to inform her that His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely meet our young lady."

In Xue'er's eyes, if Gong Wushang helps Shu Qing everywhere, it must be for Shu Qing. If Shu Qing comes, how can Gong Wushang not see Shu Qing.

The guards still wanted to stop them, but they saw a well-dressed, half-white hair meticulously coiled up behind her head, and a serious expression on her face, a 50-year-old woman in charge came from inside and scolded:
"Presumptuous, even the future crown princess dares to neglect, what should I do!"

When the two guards saw the woman in charge, they immediately knelt on the ground and confessed:
"I beg the second housekeeper to forgive me, we will never dare again."

The woman in charge responded coldly, and this time she bowed to Shu Qing:

"They were just confused for a moment, and please don't blame Miss Shu. Miss Shu wants to see our Crown Prince, so please come with this old slave."

Shu Qing followed behind the steward without saying a word, seemingly expressionless, but those clear eyes were darker than ever, as if there was some kind of storm raging inside.

Xue'er followed Shu Qing, feeling a little weird, although the woman in charge seemed respectful to the young lady, but she always felt that something was wrong.

If Shu Qing knew what Xueer was thinking, she would definitely tell her that the woman in charge looked respectful to her, but in fact her eyes were full of contempt, just like the two guards who were rude to her just now, although the woman in charge Let her forgive me, but the two guards have been bypassed between the lines, and talking to her is just perfunctory, but because the woman in charge conceals it very well, Xueer can't see it at all.

Because in the previous life, when Shu Qing first married into the Prince's Mansion, she was deceived by the strict attitude of the woman in charge. She thought that although the woman in charge looked a little fierce, she actually respected her in her heart, otherwise she would not often 'Good intentions' reminded her who should not be offended, how to manage the entire Prince's Mansion, and so on.

But later she found out that the woman in charge was the running dog of that man in the mansion, and she would pretend to approach her to show her kindness just to make fun of her.
